The Horns Band is Matt Pavolka's most recent project. With a lineup of cornet, alto, trombone, bass and drums (with Pavolka occasionally switching to trombone) it allows him to indulge his long-form compositional proclivities and explore his literary obsessions while leaving ample room for improvisation and individual expression.

Featuring the world-premiere recording of the complete quartets of Robert Erickson (1917-1997), an important American composer fondly remembered as an influential teacher who counted such figures as Pauline Oliveros, Terry Riley, Morton Subotnick and Paul Dresher among his students.

On In Love is a collaboration by Grammy-nominated composer Jefferson Friedman and indie rocker and former Shudder To Think frontman Craig Wedren - a collection of genre-bending songs performed by ACME.
